Nate Parker (born November 18, 1979) is an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter. He has appeared in ''
Beyond the Lights'', ''
Red Tails'', ''
The Secret Life of Bees'', ''
The Great Debaters'',
''Arbitrage'',
''Non-Stop'',
''Felon'', and ''
Pride''. Parker's directorial debut feature film, ''
The Birth of a Nation'', in which he also starred, made history at the
2016 Sundance Film Festival when
Fox Searchlight Pictures acquired the distribution rights for $17.5 million, breaking the record for the most paid for a
Sundance Film Festival production, surpassing ''
Little Miss Sunshine'', which had been acquired by Searchlight for $10 million ten years earlier. The film was ultimately unsuccessful in wide release and did not receive acclaim, after
rape allegations against Parker resurfaced.
